Villagarcía del Llano is a small municipality in Cuenca province, and this note is one of hundreds of hyperlocal emergency issues that flooded Republican-held Spain during the Civil War after the Republic's decree of June 1937 authorized town councils to print their own small-denomination paper to address the catastrophic disappearance of coin from circulation. Silver and copper had been hoarded, melted, or simply vanished from commerce almost immediately after July 1936.
The Gari Montllor catalog is the essential reference for these municipales, and the -B suffix here indicates a variant within the type — likely a color, paper, or serial number range distinction from the primary listing.
